Here's everything you need to know about it...
Donald Trump is a divisive head of state, with his DT quotes making him one of the most talked-about people in the world.
The president of the United States never fails to be controversial, and from explaining why he deserves a Nobel Prize to his comments about The Squad and the cancellation of a potential trip to Denmark, the past year has been no exception.
It is what’s rumoured to go on inside the White House walls however that has got the world talking this week, after Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi announced that a formal impeachment inquiry had been initiated against Donald Trump.
According to the New York Times, impeachment is ‘the most severe action that Congress can take against a sitting president’, with rumours of an impeachment inquiry circling for years.
The impeachment inquiry, according to the New York Times, is accusing Trump of ‘betraying his oath of office and the nation’s security by seeking to enlist a foreign power to tarnish a rival for his own political gain’.
‘The actions taken to date by the president have seriously violated the Constitution,’ Nancy Pelosi said of the inquiry in a speech, announcing that Trump ‘must be held accountable’, and going on to state that ‘no one is above the law’.
Ever since the news broke, high profile names have been making their stances known, with Ashton Kutcher being the latest to expose his views, emphasising that he is pushing for Trump to be impeached.
‘Mila and I met with President Zelenski and his wife a little over a week ago. My gut: He is committed to eliminating corruption in Ukraine,’ he posted in a series of text screenshots. ‘He’s also committed to ending the war and grateful for the US financial commitment because they needed it.
He continued: ’If our president used that financial aid to leverage president Zelensky to investigate Biden should be impeached. If our president did not use it as leverage and simply encouraged president Zelensky to investigate Biden without cause he should be impeached.’
Ashton concluded his message: ‘If you like President Trump or not America is the priority soliciting foreign interference in our election in [sic] unAmerican.’
Donald Trump has not yet responded.
